I Expected Holmes to be a pylon- he had no clue how to stop a backhand shot from average Omha kids. But the other goalie JS is just as weak. Those are 2 positions bulldogs shouldn’t have let “favours” get in. There are far more dominant goalies out there that could have at least gotten them 1-2 wins.

Bulldogs next 2 games are against the top teams. They will be 0-4 by tomorrow and not advance to the playoff round. Beyond embarrassing for a Toronto team.

D and goaltending are a total mess. Because 2015 is weak the Marlies can hide this but not for long.

There are easy 2/3 better goalies and 5/6 better D they could have gone with , but wanted to try and build their winter team through the brick.

TM going to be in for a real long winter. Their so called #1 goalie for pulled against a team that the Reps would beat.

To the poster above , the 2015 age group is the deepest in the last 5-7 years across North America. If you want to talk trash then know your audience and come prepared.

it is??? i was under the impression the 2014 group is better. Let's also remember that covid probably played a role here. Not making excuses, i'm happy with where my kid is at but i wouldnt have thought 2015 is a spectacular birth year.

Guest wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 7:45 am How much do you think GL is kicking himself for the team they picked? Ruined his own kids brick year by taking a bunch of sleazy deals instead of building a team that could actually win something. Embarrassing

I can’t stand people who keep using Covid as an excuse. It didn’t hold Saskatchewan 2015 boys back. Or any other boys - just the bulldog crew. Bulldogs went with buddies and favours - now it’s obvious that 5-6 boys shouldn’t be there at all.

I’m not his mother or father but SR is the best player on the bulldogs and it isn’t even close, not sure the size of the parents but if that kid grows a little it’s game over. Maybe the bulldogs should get RH away from coaching those D. Only thing that guy knew how to do in hockey was sit in a penalty box

If SR was really that good he would have done more today. Kid had his ass handed to him. This is the peak of that kids hockey career, and it’s not pretty. Sorry Dad.

A lot of you seem to be confused how this is going to go so let me set it out for you as someone who has seen it all before.

In U12 some will start being told “your kid might be small…let’s see how things go.”

In U13 the coaches will get rid of 90% of kids who are smaller than average (hockey average not regular average). They will be replaced by beasts from AA who looked slow in U9 and didn’t have finesse but at 13, 14 they will happily flatten small AAA forwards who relied on skill but after they get splattered on the boards like flies or murdered on open ice they will fold and wither.

It isn’t fair but it happens every year. It’s coming. SR is a very good player but he won’t have space when hitting starts and he’ll be in a 50 lb and 6-8 inch deficit easy. Good luck with that. Not to pick on him exclusively, there are other tiny kids who were “all that at U8-9, ie ZL, they’re already folding.

For some kids and parents i hope you’re right because they suck…but I don’t think you’re right. Many of the kids who are good and playing in brick now go on to be the good players in high school. All of the kids are going to grow regardless of what their actual size ends up being. Some kids dont grow height wise until 17.

The kids who are good now are going to be good for a while. Again I can’t stand some of the parents and wish they’d go away but they’re not going anywhere.

Are SR parents tiny? If the dad is even 5’10 the kid will likely be fine. He’s a great player. I’m sure his parents will find a way to get him to 5’10 or taller.

He is basically 2 inches beyond the midget threshold

How many 2014 brick kids from last year still playing with the 2013s for winter hockey. the battle kids and the gthl champ marlies the vk kids all absolutely filthy. 2014 definitely deeper then these two 2015 Toronto teams.

Good! Because he’s absolute dust. id love to hear how a kid like that got signed to a Brick team. some top Alliance goalies left for US brick teams that will end up far higher in the standings.
